re: Blood test to identify those at risk for suicide

Tldr just read the last two sentences.

quote:

---

You have misunderstood.

quote:

Let me guess

By this statement I assumed you didn't have any facts to back up your argument. I apologize of I misunderstood.

quote:

---

I didn't say I don't believe in the existence of the gene or that the cortisol levels in the blood don't cause more stress. I was simply commenting that, more than likely, there won't be a cure, because there almost never is. I'm saying big pharma will use this as an opportunity to put people on expensive medication for the entirety of their lives. When in fact , a balanced diet and exercise would likely (I'm assuming this is also a guess.) control the issue.

There's no cure, but an expensive medication you can live your whole life on?

Live your whole life on.

You wouldn't hate the companies that produce insulin. Until they have a cure, they are at least getting people an option.

Hopefully someone smarter than me can comment on what I'm saying, because I'm really ignorant on the subject of the science and medication behind it. And I'm sure it shows. If diet and exercise is an alternative, then I would be in favor of doctors working with patients in this direction the same way they would with heart disease. It just rubed me the wrong way to see people rolling their eyes in a thread that people are posting in who are struggling with the issue. You can throw away everything I posted before that last sentence.
